DUBAI, May 25, 2021

GE and the Global Manufacturing and Industrialisation Summit (GMIS) have partnered to explore the role of digitization, lean manufacturing, and workplace safety to support the transformation of manufacturing and economic regeneration.

Through joint thought leadership and knowledge sharing activities, GE will collaborate with GMIS to support manufacturers in deploying digitization, lean processes and safety protocols to improve efficiencies, eliminate waste, lower costs, increase productivity and uptime, and enhance employee satisfaction.

To be held at Expo’s Dubai Exhibition Center from November 22-27, the fourth edition of the Summit (#GMIS2021) offers a unique international platform to share lessons and explore opportunities around these three crucial enablers, as leaders from the global manufacturing and technology communities engage in discussion and debate to shape the future of manufacturing and industrialization.

“GE has a 130-year manufacturing heritage with operations across the globe in the critical sectors of energy, healthcare and aviation, and complemented by expertise in digitization and additive manufacturing,” said Nabil Habayeb, Senior Vice President, GE and President & CEO of GE International Markets.“We are pleased to be a partner to#GMIS2021 in supporting its role to transform manufacturing and driving economic progress.”

GE operates more than 1000manufacturing, maintenance, repair and overhaul facilities in 130countries around the world. “GE will share learnings from its deployment of digitization, its ongoing implementation of lean manufacturing principles, and its clear prioritizing of safety, as well as how these support sustained manufacturing excellence for GE, our partners and our customers,” Habayeb added.

The summit is a joint initiative of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and the UAE Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology.  With the event coinciding with Dubai Expo, #GMIS2021 will position industrialization at the centre of the global dialogue, reinforcing the sector’s important role in driving economic growth and global prosperity. The theme for #GMIS2021 is ‘Rewiring Societies: Repurposing Digitalisation for Prosperity’.

#GMIS2021 will explore the importance of data intelligence and connectivity, and the evolving mechanisms of interaction between humans and machines in the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The Summit creates important opportunities to ensure digitization, lean manufacturing and workplace safety are integrated into the future of industrialization.

Badr Al-Olama, Head of the GMIS Organising Committee, said: “We are delighted to partner with GE, a world leader in driving transformative and diversified industrial growth. Together, GMIS and GE will leverage their network and expertise to drive digitization, industrialization and thought-leadership to deliver insights and support to the global manufacturing community across every line of business – from factory floors to the deployment of Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies.”
